  • primer-dimer or adaptor-dimer

    Hi, all,
    I just prepared couple of libraries with the NEBNext® Ultra™ II FS DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina. After run them on a Qiaxcel system, I saw a visible ~35bp peak.(15bp and 3000bp are alignment markers) Could it be primer-dimer or adaptor-dimer? Should I perform another round of beads clean-up? Or I can just send them for sequencing?
    Thank

    No, that's just primer. An adapter dimer would be ~120 bp long. This isn't long enough to contain both adapters so it won't cluster on a flow cell and therefore shouldn't affect anything.

      I agree with jwfoley.
      Unless you were going to have them sequenced on a patterned flowcell instrument (HiSeq 3000/4000/X, NovaSeq) -- then you want another ampure because extra adapter oligos are said to potentiate index hopping.

        You may also try to use less primers in your index PCR

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
